He makes an appearance on “CAN’T SAY” and just dropped his own project ‘Donny Womack.’

Amongst a sea of high-profile guest features on Travis Scott’s new album ASTROWORLD is one name that fans may be less familiar with: Don Toliver. The Houston artist has been in Travis' orbit for the past few months, and ended up landing a feature on ASTROWORLD’s 13th track “CAN’T SAY.”

No you can’t say if I’m mad or not
Smoking hella weed, I’m on that alcohol
Shawty lick me clean the way she suck me off
I keep two hoes in my bed, I got ‘em turning out

He even got a major cosign from Travis on Twitter last night:

Coincidentally, Toliver dropped his own project Donny Womack just yesterday. Genius caught up with the rising Houston artist just a few days before ASTROWORLD’s release to discuss his relationship with Travis, going to Hawaii for the ASTROWORLD sessions, and his hopes for Donny Womack as his profile gets a dramatic boost.

I wanted to start off about how you met Travis and how your guys’ relationship developed.

When I first started linking up with Travis, somebody from my camp reached out to somebody in his camp. I sent them music and videos and it got to Travis and he was feeling it. He came back and we were able to link up and vibe.

And when was that?

It was probably November or December of 2017.

I heard you got called out to Hawaii to work on ASTROWORLD. What was that like?

The process was dope. We flew out there to Hawaii. The whole gang was there. It was nothing but love and great energy. It was definitely a creative process going on in the area. It was just a lot of vibes, man. Feeding off of everybody’s energy.

How long were you out there for?

Like a week.

So were you guys in the studio most of the time or hanging out, spitballing ideas?

We were hanging out and bouncing ideas off, working. Getting it in.

What is Travis like in the studio? I imagine him being a super perfectionist with everything.

I can’t really speak on how he was in the studio but when me and Travis vibe, it’s great energy.

What did it feel like to be called in for such a highly anticipated project?

It was really big for me. Hearing the announcement of ASTROWORLD and for me to just go out there and vibe with him in the atmosphere. Everything was just beautiful. It was an honor to go out there and spread my love and my vibe around that area. That was just dope to me.

Moving on to your project, how long has Donny Womack been in the works?

I’ve been working on Donny Womack for a minute. I’ve been trying to catch my vibe and figure out who exactly Donny Womack is and what he’s trying to accomplish out here. I’ve gotten to a point where I have to figure out where I want to go with the direction of my music and how I want it to be presented to people.

What would you label as your style to someone who hasn’t heard your music before?

Melodic hip-hop soul. Feeling vibrations.

I’ve heard it described as “Trap&B.”

Right, right, right. Exactly.

Who are some other artists you’ve been inspired by?

Of course, I’m inspired by Travis. Dom Kennedy is one of my favorite rappers, I’ve been inspired by him since an early age. A lot of things in Houston, the whole culture and the vibe, definitely. The people who changed the game, brought something to the next level and brought something to the table. All those types of artists. Of course, Bobby Womack, Teddy Pendergrass, Sade.

What made you want to call it Donny Womack?

It’s a spin off the late, great Bobby Womack. He brought energy and soul to the table. He made you really feel something when you heard his music. I feel like mine, you feel the same type of energy. I come in hot and you gon’ feel exactly what I’m saying.

What statement do you want to make with this project?

I just want people to understand that I’m musically inclined and I’m all diverse in the game. I want to let them know I’m gon’ be here. The music is there and the vibe is there.

You have a song with Dice SoHo on this project that came out a little while ago called “Holdin’ Steel.” How did you link up with him?

Dice is from Texas as well. I felt like it was really cool for me to link up with Dice because I feel like he touches people in a different way. I really wanted to grab that energy from him and bring that along and he was really open and receptive. It was only right to link with him.

Is there anything else you want to add?

I want everybody to know and see where I’m coming from. I really want everyone to pay attention to each track closely and understand the vibe. We’ve got all types of shit going on, and you could take it anywhere.
